- Provenance
- Formerly owned by Godajośī Dhātoṇḍa (f. 13r). The name Dhātoṇḍa may suggest that the manuscript comes from a village in the Punjab region of India with that name or that the former owner originally comes from the district. There is also a reference to Kāśī (Varāṇasī) in the post-colophon text (f. 13r), possibly suggesting that the owner, originally from the Punjab, had settled in Varāṇasī when the manuscript was written.
